Wonderful Charleston Getaway
Two couples spent three nights in this fabulous cottage on Charlotte Street. It is gorgeous, immaculate, and has everything a guest could desire right down to farm fresh eggs in the refrigerator. Every detail has been carefully thought out and it all was so wonderful we hardly wanted to leave though we were there for the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition (SEWE) so did make an effort to attend at least some of the events! The location is perfect as it is a lovely residential area and easy to walk everywhere. Thank you so much Ann and Fred for an excellent visit!
We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us at the Sarah Clifford Guest House! We loved having you and hope you return soon.
We had an amazing couples weekend!
From the moment you book to when you arrive and throughout your stay- Ann, Fred and the Sarah Clifford house attended to everything you could want! If Charleston wasn’t so beautiful and easy to navigate (thanks to Ann’s amazing recommendations and tips), we would have stayed in bed longer relishing in the decadence of the bedrooms and cooked our own meals in the beautiful kitchen. Do not hestitate to book- you deserve this type of vacation! We will be back!
Beautiful property. Great location.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Sarah Clifford guest house. It is a beautifully renovated home. Hosts Ann & Fred have thought of everything. Excellent location. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. I highly recommend this rental.
Special Thanksgiving at Sarah Clifford Guest House
Very Special Thanksgiving in Charleston at Sarah Clifford Guest House!
As return guests, we always appreciate the beautifully designed & 5 Star accommodations of Sarah Clifford Guest House. This trip, we enjoyed hosting Thanksgiving for our family, assisted by the dream kitchen, beautiful dining area, and great food source recommendations from the owners. Sarah Clifford GH is convenient to everything on the peninsula and we love returning after daily adventures to such a warm, welcoming venue! Thank you again & again to Ann & Fred!
Beautiful, modern, clean house with great owners.
Really enjoyed our stay at the Sarah Clifford Guest House. Ann and Frank were excellent hosts and we would definitely stay here again. We arrived and found milk, coffee, eggs, water and more in the fridge, along with many other things in the house that were stocked for us. We could have almost left our suitcases at home! Truly a wonderful experience.
Fantastic Charleston Gem
Ann and Fred are wonderful hosts and their guest house was absolutely perfect. Loved it. Everything you need...and some things you didn't know you needed...all there. Thanks so much Ann and Fred.
